Synopsis

This book presents a collection of treaties and agreements made between the East India Company and Indian powers during the 18th century. The agreements reveal the complex political landscape of India during a period of intense change and conflict, as the East India Company sought to establish its dominance in the region. Through these treaties, we witness the interplay of power, diplomacy, and military strategy as the Company navigated alliances, negotiated territorial concessions, and asserted its authority over Indian states. The author provides valuable insights into the East India Company's methods of acquiring and maintaining power, shedding light on the origins of British colonialism in India.
